<p>An AI model can use the words in its current context window. <strong>Memory</strong> lets
your application carry useful context into the next conversation — deliberately,
within the right boundary, and with a record you can inspect later.</p>
<p>Atomic Memory is managed memory for that job. Your application writes a fact in
the right scope, retrieves it for the next task, corrects it when it changes,
and can inspect every step. You call an API; there is no engine to operate.</p>

<p>Imagine a travel assistant. In one chat, a person says: “I prefer aisle seats
when I fly.” On a later day, the person asks which seat to book. The assistant
should not have to guess, or rely on an old chat still fitting in the model’s
context window.</p>
<p>Memory gives the application a deliberate path between those moments:</p>
<figure class=lifecycle_RK_Q aria-labelledby=memory-lifecycle-title><figcaption id=memory-lifecycle-title class=caption_ewNx>How one preference becomes durable memory — and changes safely over time.</figcaption><ol class=stages_Fixz><li class=stage_sPTM><strong>1.

<p>The diagram is a mental model, not hidden magic. Your application chooses the
scope, Atomic Memory records the memory and its lineage, and retrieval returns
useful context for the next model call. If the preference changes, the new
record can supersede the old one without erasing the reason it changed.</p>

<p>A <strong>scope</strong> is the boundary a memory belongs to. Most applications begin with a
user scope: one person’s preferences should not appear in another person’s
conversation. Teams can add workspace or agent boundaries as their product
needs them. Learn more in <a class="" href=/sdk/concepts/scopes-and-identity>Scopes and identity</a>.</p>
